Author: Gruber, Gerlinde
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9782952984843
Description: Paris: Galerie Canesso, 2010. 31cm., hardcover, 63pp. illus., 15 color plates. English text. Exhibition catalogue. From the gallery's website: The event is dedicated to a newly-discovered painter of the seventeenth century whose oeuvre has only been recently been identified. The curator of the exhibition, Gerlinde Gruber of the Kunsthistorisches Museum , Vienna , has proposed a conventional name – apparently anachronistic but highly effective – for this anonymous artist: the Master of the Blue Jeans. He stands out as one of the most original painters of reality in seventeenth-century Europe, above all for his depictions of humble folk dressed in twilled cotton cloth from Genoa (Gênes in French, hence jeans), which was to evolve into the well-known contemporary material. The exhibition will present a chronological display of works by artists who preceded and followed the Master, such as Evaristo Baschenis (1617-1677), Eberhard Keilhau, called Monsù Bernardo (c. 1624-1687), Michael Sweerts (1608 – 1664) and finally Giacomo Francesco Cipper, called Il Todeschini (1664-1736) and the great Lombard painter Giacomo Ceruti (1698-1767).
